From Chenzhou to the southeast, more than 300 miles is Shaozhou (Shaoguan City), and to the east slightly north, through the Rucheng, Chongyi, Shangyu of Nan'an Province, 750 miles is Ganzhou.

Before Zhang Xianzhong's rebels occupied Chenzhou, the officials and people of Shaozhou and the counties under its jurisdiction had fled, and Wang Sunlan, the deputy envoy of Nanshao, was so frightened that he hanged himself.

Nan'an Prefecture in the southwest of Ganzhou borders Chenzhou, Nan'an Prefecture governs Dayu, Nankang, Shangyou, Chongyi four counties, the government is located in Dayu, after hearing that the rebels are about to arrive in Chenzhou, the officials and people of Chongyi and Shangyou counties on the communication line from Chenzhou to Ganzhou are panicked and flee to Ganzhou one after another.

It can be said that now including the northern part of Guangxi, the northeast of Guangdong, and even the entire Jiangxi are shrouded in the shadow of Zhang Xianzhong's rebels.

In the process of chaotic escape of countless refugees, the phenomena of bullying, robbery, rape, murder, and fraud abound, the strong are wantonly bullying, the weak are not protected in any way, and the tragic scene of wives being separated and families being destroyed is everywhere;

The ugly side of human nature is undisguised in this chaotic and chaotic world, where the rebels go, there is a hell on earth, ordinary people are in danger, panic and helpless, crying all the way, blood and tears all the way, corpses all the way

Ganzhou Mansion is also panicked, the people are frightened three times a day, but at this time, all kinds of rumors in Ganzhou City are flying all over the sky, some people say that the defenders of Ganzhou City have mutinied, some people say that Qin Mu rebelled, some people say that the prefect Yang Tinglin died, in short, all kinds of rumors spread and fermented like a plague among the people.

In the past few days, Qin Mu seemed to be roasted on the fire, worrying day and night, and his hair was almost white.

Huichang and Xinfeng are two thousand households. Under Qin Mu's strict order, he was assembling towards Ganzhou City at full speed;

And Ma Yongzhen and Meng Ke were even more urged by him to abandon the army and rush to Ganzhou to discuss matters first.

Qin Mu was under heavy pressure, opening the city, the news that Yang Tinglin was injured under his knife would soon spread, and then it would be difficult for him to see the imperial court, and there was only one way to pull the flag and rebel.

If the city gate is not opened, just those epidemic-like rumors are enough to make the entire Gannan collapse.

In the second hall of the government office. Sima An, Ma Yongzhen, Meng Ke, Liu Meng, Xiang Liancheng, Su Jin, and Tian Yimu were also sitting, all with solemn expressions.

Sima An's proposal to give up Ganzhou and use Zhang Xianzhong's rebels to cover up everything has been vetoed by Qin Mu, and now it is still those four words in front of everyone: where to go.

If you pull the flag and rebel, the matter is simple, it is nothing more than to quickly expand the army, control the entire territory of Ganzhou Prefecture in one fell swoop, and even Nan'an Mansion and Shaozhou Prefecture, and then accept refugees. Settle the people, and at the same time fight on both sides, the officers and soldiers who resist Lu Daqi in the north and Zhang Xianzhong's rebels in the south. There is no need to think much about strategy, the rest is only a matter of tactics.

If they do not rebel, how can they cover up the fact that they support the army and hurt the prefect, which is tantamount to rebellion?

Outside the hall, Zhu Yijin personally led the troops to guard. No one was allowed to approach, and the air in the hall seemed to be condensed.

Sima An spoke first and said, "My lord, think about it. It is still recommended that adults take the initiative to attack, the east, south and west of Ganzhou are steep mountains and mountains, and the roads are difficult to travel, so you only need to send a good guard to defend the danger, and it should not be difficult to block the rebels in the southwest, and you can concentrate most of the troops in Ganzhou, quickly go north to Ji'an Mansion, and fight with all your might, in order to block Zhang Xianzhong's rebels in the north of Ji'an Mansion, so that Lu Daqi has no reason to come to Ganzhou again. ”

Ma Yongzhen said: "If Zhang Xianzhong's rebels can be blocked north of Ji'an Mansion, Lu Daqi will indeed not come to Ganzhou because of the rebels, but this does not solve the fundamental problem, Lu Daqi does not come to Ganzhou, and the situation in Ganzhou is also likely to reach his ears, and then we still have only one way to rebel." ”

Meng Ke said in a deep voice: "My lord, it's useless to think about it now, I also agree to wave the army to the north, fight with Zhang Xianzhong's rebels with all their might, and fight the prestige, even if Lu Daqi hears any rumors, what will he dare to do to us?" Now that Zuo Liangyu's tens of thousands of horses are looting, they are even more brutal than the rebels, what can Lu Daqi do to Zuo Liangyu? What can the imperial court do with Zuo Liangyu? As long as we show our strength, as long as we don't pull up the anti-flag, let alone Lu Daqi, I'm afraid that the court can only turn a blind eye. ”

After Meng Ke finished speaking, Tian Yimu interjected carelessly: "My lord, the matter of Governor Yang's mansion is the most unfavorable to adults, but most of the people outside have only heard some rumors, and various theories are different, in fact, we can also send people to spread some rumors that are beneficial to adults, true and false, except for the people present at the time, who can tell which is true and which is false?" And all the soldiers present at that time, the adults can send them to the battle, whether they go south or north, it is not a big problem, as long as they pay attention to prevent deserters. ”

Listening to Tian Yimu's words, Qin Mu, who had always been worried, secretly sighed, yes, isn't the truth of history used to tamper with?

Li Shimin killed his brother and forced his father, many people think that he was forced to do so, but is this really the case? I don't know, anyway, in the official history, he became a character who was forced to rebel, because he won and won the sympathy of many people.

It's just that Yang Zhi's side Qin Mu thought of this wife who had just passed the door, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, Qin Mu was not so cold-blooded, and asked himself if he was not the kind of person who regarded women like mustard for the sake of the future.

Besides, if it wasn't for Yang Zhi that day, it would have been Yang Tinglin who won.

Qin Mu knocked on the table with his hand and said, "This matter will be handled by you one acre." ”

"Yes, sir. My lord, my subordinates felt that Huang Danian, Hu Ge, and Qian Qing could still take advantage of it, so they said that they launched a mutiny, intending to hold the adults and Fuzun hostage, so that Fuzun was injured.

Qin Mu didn't want to talk about this matter more, and only said lightly: "I don't have to worry about you doing things, and you will be fully responsible for this matter, but you should pay attention to one point, don't ruin the name of the mansion." ”

Although Yang Tinglin wanted to deal with himself, Qin Mu did not hate him, on the contrary, he respected this kind of person who adhered to righteousness and did not disagree because of the difficulties of the world;

This is because such people represent the spiritual backbone of a nation and a country, and you may laugh at them for being pedantic, like Wen Tianxiang. Knowing that he can't do it, he doesn't hesitate to lose his life, but if it doesn't have the persistence of these "pedantic" people, what else can be left of the spiritual shijie of this nation?

Qin Mu turned his head, and the gaze that swept towards everyone gradually became firm.

I only heard him say in a deep voice: "Although if you want to achieve great things, you must have to make sacrifices, but I disdain to exchange the name of tens of thousands of living beings in Ganzhou for my body." Elsewhere, our current capacity is limited, and we can't take care of it. But since Ganzhou has a chance to be saved, it must not be abandoned by thieves, and a name for infamy is a name for itself, but it is enough to have a clear conscience. Zhu Yijin! ”

"What do you command?" Zhu Yijin, who was guarding the door, strode into the door and gave a military salute.

"Pass this official order and immediately open the four gates of Ganzhou."

"Yes."

Qin Mu then said to Tian Yimu: "One mu, now that people fleeing from the war have arrived outside the city, you will cooperate with Chen Shaoping, the same knowledge of Ganzhou, to settle it with all your might." ”

Chen Shaoping has already handed over the letter of Toucheng. Regardless of whether he is sincere or not, but with this letter, it is equivalent to pinching his lifeline, and Qin Mu no longer has to worry about him not cooperating.

"Yes. My lord. Tian Yimu should be down, the pair of triangular eyes turned, and then said: "My lord, my subordinates think." Is it more appropriate to let Ganzhou Wei Tongzhi Ma Sizhong and the subordinates of the government also hand over a letter? ”

Qin Mu glanced at him coldly, and Tian Yimu couldn't help but stagnate.

Sima An shook his head and said: "This kind of method is too bad to lose. Adults want to go far. It is better to use less of these means, otherwise once there is a slight setback, everyone will betray their relatives and leave. ”

"One acre, do you understand?" Qin Mu knew in his heart that if he played conspiracy, Tian Yimu might not be inferior to Sima An, but in terms of qi pattern, he was inferior.

"Adult, villain knows his mistake."

"Ma Sizhong, as a fellow of the guards of Ganzhou, now that the rebels are coming, he has the responsibility to defend the territory, so let him go south with the army, it doesn't matter if he is not good at combat, just boost the morale of the army. As for the other subordinate officials of the government, they don't need to pay attention to it, just let them do their jobs. After speaking, Qin Mu turned his head and shouted, "Xiang Liancheng." ”

"The last general will obey orders." Xiang Liancheng immediately stood up and gave a military salute.

"This time you take your men and horses to stay, there is a war in the north and south of Ganzhou, there must be a large number of refugees rushing in, these refugees are not enough just for relief, you are responsible for selecting the strong from the refugees, and training them into an army, one can prevent them from gathering crowds to make trouble, and the other can be used as a reserve force."

"The Last General's Order."

Everyone sitting here couldn't help but feel a stir in their hearts, obviously, Qin Mu was going to expand the army.

Qin Mu didn't wait for them to think about it, and immediately instructed Tian Yimu: "After Xiang Liancheng selects the able-bodied, the rest can't let them be idle, people will make trouble when they are idle, you have to organize the refugees as much as possible, let them do something, work for relief, open salt mines, iron mines, build water conservancy, open terraces, build weapons, transport grain and grass, in short, you can't let them eat and drink for nothing, hear clearly?" ”

"Yes, sir."

"Okay, let's discuss the details of the troops, how many troops to send from the north and south, where to defend, where to attack, what kind of time node to choose, let's talk about it."
